Pre-Game Potential: AFL 2019 Rd 8: Carlton vs. Collingwood - crashlander - 05-05-2019
Next Saturday afternoon on the MCG at 1345.
Things do not look good. A team of clowns who could beat my dead Grandmothers with an idiot for a coach destroyed by 10 goals. That says a lot, and none of it is good. Not when we come up against one of the premiership favourites at their preferred venue.
Jones will definitely be out. Kreuzer is no certainty. Our defence has a lot of holes in it. We are applying very little pressure, while other teams try to rough us up and the umpires let them get away with it.
Not looking forward to this one.

We're playing a top side. It'll be a great fight with an honourable loss. That's the pattern.

Win this and it will be the 'stuff of legends'
Not sure what our backline is going to look like.

Fox team covering crows vs dockers just said Jones has been cleared of any structural damage and will be released from hospital shortly
But still looks unlikely he’ll play next week

Scary without Jones...if Zurhaar can kick five then DeGoey will fancy his chances of a day out.....
Are we going to feed Stocker to the wolves and start him on Elliott or Stephenson.
I'd say Goddard will play his first game..probably on Ben Reid and Weitering will take Mihocek..
After today its odds on that Greenwood will pick up Cripps....

Common sense says if you lay unconscious for a period following head trauma, you won't play an elite sport in 6 days time.
The club must exercise due diligence in such circumstances.
That we won't have a backline to compete in the AFL is neither here nor there.
Wishing big Jonesy a complete recovery and quick return to the side.

Jones won’t play. Too much risk and the medical community will probably have him do minimal training involving any contact over the next 2 weeks. It did look nasty and I am sure he will have a headache for a couple of days. Great to hear no major neck issues or structural damage to his skull.

I'm going next week.
Today I wanted to leave at quarter time.
I haven't left that early since 2003

Pies are due for a loss....
...but it's at least 2 weeks away.
